The Browns are making plans in the event they lose Gordon for an extended period. Last week, ESPN reported the 22-year-old is facing a one-year suspension for failing another drug test. Gordon has failed two previous tests and was suspended for the first two games last season for violating the NFLs substance abuse policy.

Despite playing just 14 games, Gordon led the league with 1,646 yards receiving.
